Summary Note |
"The Brothers Karamazovy is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of erotic rivalry involving Karamazov and his three sons - the impulsive and sensual Dmitri, the coldly rational Ivan, and the healthy young novice Alyosha. Through the gripping events of their story, Dostoevsky portrays the social and spiritual strivings in what was both a golden age and a tragic turning point in Russian culture."--Cover. |
